Children

I think I'm going to be planning stuff for mainly Fri pm and Sabbath am Sabbath School for the kids. I think Rebekah could handle about one hour of the program, but I wouldn't ask her to go beyond that if she gets restless. Some things that I've brought for the Fri pm and Sabbath am programs could be brought with for the kind people that are willing to watch our kids for us in the afternoon. I think the Sabbath afternoon activities for kids that need to step out could be more informal and consist of what each family likes their children to enjoy for Sabbath.

I had another question: when we have Friday night vespers at your mom's house, will the children's program be the main attraction that the adult will be in attendance for and help their children to enjoy? Is that how we will open Sabbath? Or does your family envision the children & I going upstairs to do something separately and the adults have their own vespers service? One version is more child-centered (for their interests), and one is more adult-centered. I think children can handle a VERY short adult vespers, but longer than that isn't fair for the little ones.
